This article analyzes different pathologies of social affirmation and
examines the grounds of social recognition from the point of view of the concept
of expression. The red thread of the text is provided by Tove Jansson’s fictional
works, and the focus will be on three cases in particular (the magic hat, the
invisible girl and the figure of the Groke). The article sets out from the phenomenological
distinction between the sensible expression, on the one hand, and
the expressed content, on the other. By focusing on the three cases, the article
distinguishes and analyses the fundamental structures of communal life and
explicates different ways in which social affirmation can be one-sided or
distorted.
